The Flying Dutchman Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 @juv95hrn - not that I know of. I'm just checking the forum every day, as well as the pre-order page. I sent an email to Game-Labs and they are allowing me to join in, so if you can't wait then explain your situation and there is a chance that you get in (as stated by admin on page 1). Happy sailing!

I have also mailed them and offered to become a paying Alpha-tester. I hope the accept my application. I love the era of sails. I suppose I know more about computer games than actual sailing ships but I have good understanding of the weapon system that the sailing ships were. And their development over time. I am also an experienced Beta-tester and game developer although not of sailing simulators, since those are rather rare on the market. *fingers crossed and thanks for the update!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Corcoran Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I can't wait to purchase either, i'd like to be part of helping to shape the game.. saying that I would wait till more content is available to test. (im sure you guys are giving tons of feedback already). you guys are awesome. Also I'd like to add that a personal petition to the info( at ) option is a testament to the dev team of how committed they are to making NA great and its commitment to its community. Well done to them and makes me proud to be part of the forums. Can't wait to meet you all on the high seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodoreWesley Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We could do something like Bismarck's Essay Writing Giveaway contest, just to prove that these people do have the dedication and understanding of what is being performed in this Alpha testing. I do wish that I knew about this game earlier, as this game is a dream come true for me. All the modifications I made to computer games have been for naval combat, starting originally with Paradox Interactive's East India Company, which eventually led me into 3000+ hours of beta testing the Lordz's Napoleonic Total War III modification. In that 3000 plus hours, I created my own Naval mod (surprisingly most of the coding only took me a single afternoon), which is now an added feature to the larger modification. If I didn't have college to juggle (as well still helping a bit with NTWIII), I would certainly be testing this game even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drawll Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I, like many others, have discovered this game late. Has it been taken off sale before for a time, if so how long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jima Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Servers are starting to dwindle in population. Please open up more pre orders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Flying Dutchman Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Game-Labs are trying to put in place moderators and community volunteers so opening pre-orders up is not their priority (as of what I have seen, I may be wrong).

Crankey Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 You can be sure that admin has seen this thread. I think everybody will just have to accept the fact that the pre-order has been closed for now and will open up again at some later point in time. Is there more precise information available? No, unfortunately not. ~Brigand I think it is time we look at the active player base right now, I believe letting in a quantity of fresh targets' I mean testers is necessary very soon if not sooner. Over the past few weeks the numbers of active players in game has seriously dropped even at peak times. We have moved from 300+ players online to less than 100 at peak times. Until new content is available I fear that too many testers will stop playing as they have maxed out their progress and become bored with repeated content they see time and time again. New blood, new outlooks, all reporting F11 glitches and bugs would be good both for the game mechanic reporting and player numbers in game, not to mention raising funds to support further development.

SakyoshaTheBlackHand Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) I just discovered this game within the past 4 days thanks to stumbling across The Mighty Jingles videos. Since then I've been eating up SideStrafe's videos and being muchly sad that I came to the party way too late. This is the type of game I love - something that has a strong, passionate community - with people more interested in making the game good rather than improving their own records. I would absolutely love to get in as soon as possible, but feel that I came too late to take the admin up on their generous offer (this is my first post after all).Sail ho!

Elcid Barrett Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I came to the party way too late. The game is still in a very pre-release state. If you are here you are not late, even if you haven't been able to order it yet. Hold fast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaaru62 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 he did too miss the party. big battles are between 20-40 players that start as an organized ranging shootout and end in a chaotic slugfest. most fun ive had in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJRT Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 For all of you good fellas, hang tight, preorders should be open soon again, the game is really worth the wait and even more, dont despair as it's in the grasp of your hands. I myself managed to get a few of my friends in but others didn't manage to get in on time. Meanwhile there are plenty of videos of the game to entertain yourselvs and to pass time. I hope this may help -JRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuffinBeard Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Well I'm hanging tight. Can't wait to get in on this game. I have always loved sailing games. Nothing has really hit the spot. Ever since Sea Dogs I have hoped for a sailing game with great water effects and great sailing/combat dynamics. This game seem to hit the spot with tons of realism and awesome looking ships and sea! I've watched a lot of youtube on this game and all I can say is it's about time someone went there! Im no stranger to early access games and I understand the development process. I'm also no stranger to online games. I'm ready to support the development of this game. Edited March 15, 2015 by StuffinBeard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iñigo Montoya Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I made the mistake to point a good gaming friend to "our" videos when the sales were already closed and now he wants my head on a pike :/ Let's hope we can find a key for him soon enough. I can run so much, you know... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booyaah Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I saw this on the SC forum a few months ago, I kept forgetting to sign up since I figured there was no point in doing it on the weekend since they gave out the codes on friday, actually remembered and got in the last Friday before they closed it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kang Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Just got in last week so as of last Friday you could still email a request in. Believe me, it was well worth the extra steps. The battleground itself is worth the price of admission. Throw in open world and it seems like it's gonna be a must buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
